Goniadz is a small town in
Mońki county (Powiat of Mońki) in Podlaskie Voivodeship in
northeastern Poland. The name of the town is sometimes
written as Goniądz, Goniondzh, Gonyendz, Gonyadz, Gonyandz,
Gonyondz, Gonyondzh or Goniondz. In Hebrew, it is written
as: גאניאנדז

Like many such European villages, Goniadz was the site of
great tragedy during the second world war, when this area
of Poland fell first to the German army, and then to troops
of the Soviet Union. What remained of the Jewish population
was lost to the Holocaust, but the story of Goniadz was
carried around the world by those who emigrated to other
countries, and was passed on to their descendants.
